*NOTICE ON FUNDRAISING: We are still well short of completing this month's RSN funding drive. We are roughly ten percent of the way. By comparison we were completely finished by this point for July last year. The donations this time are far fewer and far smaller. Regrettably the organization does not have the kind of cash reserves that would allow us to forgo finishing the drive. We have to finish. For those of you that are active donors, we thank you and ask for your patience as we make the case to those who are not yet donors to join us. We would ask everyone to consider going forward the many benefits of shorter funding drives. Sincere thanks to all. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News*

Okay, I'll make a donation.
